Review of Showdown in Little Tokyo (1991) by Ross M — 11 Mar 2010

This movie is the embodiment of awesome. It's action scenes are over the top as is much of the dialogue making it a great junk 80's/90's flick. The cast is nothing short of exceptional, only adding to the sheer awesomeness that is "Showdown in Little Tokyo".

This film features Dolph Lundgren, Brandon Lee, Tia Carrere, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, and Toshiro Obata. For my generation, the cast alone makes this a nostalgic piece because you have Ivan Drago, The Crow, Cassandra from "Wayne's World", Shang tsung from "Mortal Combat", and Tatsu from the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle" movies, all rapped up into one; gold.

While the movie certainly may not be held in such high regards as say "Scarface" or "Goodfellas", this movie is a riot to watch. If you want to have some fun, invite some of your buddies over and pop this sucker in.

You'll have a blast.
